Yield prediction modeling using data envelopment analysis methodology for direct seeding, wetland paddy cultivation

A yield prediction model was developed using measured energy inputs data from 40 wetland paddy farms in Malaysia. Energy inputs from six sources were optimized using benchmarking and data envelopment analysis. The model developed based on Cobb-Douglas production function has coefficient of determina...
